This is about High Taxes and Low Results. Failure is not Acceptable!

I just saw a TV Commercial from Neighboring Lebanon County. 
The incumbent is facing strong opposition for the high property tax rates.
Dauphin County is ……7.22 mils
Cumberland County….2.36
Lancaster County. ……2.91
Lebanon County……….3.29
Our Dauphin County Taxes are 2 to 3 times higher than surrounding Counties and we rank at the bottom in Pennsylvania in many County Service Categories.

You can change this! 
Please Vote for Tom Connolly. 
Together we can Lower our Taxes and Improve Dauphin County.
